Gate in front of the pagoda of the 9th Shogun Tokugawa Ieshige (Shunshinin) at Zojoji, Shiba, Tokyo, Japan. Six Tokugawa Shoguns and wives and children of shoguns were entombed at the Tokugawa mausoleum at Zojoji. Much of the mausoleum was destroyed during the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 and what survived, was burnt down during the US fire bombings of Tokyo in 1945.
